DOROTHY BROWN, Clerk of the Circuit Court
requesting authorization for the Purchasing Agent to

Increase requested: |
60,000.00 |
|
Adjusted amount: |
$ 94,000.00 |

Reason: |
Barbara J. Dalton is experienced in creating and
implementing comprehensive, enterprise-wide systems for managing records in
accordance with regulatory requirements.
She is also familiar with micrographics systems and conversions from such
systems to more contemporary imaging and archival systems. No one on staff at this time has the same
capabilities as Ms. Dalton so a contract extension is necessary to continue
the work. In addition, Ms. Dalton is
an expert at training employees to accommodate new processes and new
equipment, which will occur late in the project time line. |
Estimated Fiscal Impact:
$60,000.00. Contract
extension: January 1, 2002 through
December 31, 2002. (529-260 Account).
